Expecting the same good weather as we had in 1990, we were rewarded with alot of snow and plenty of downtime in the Ruth. We waited in town for a couple of days before we could fly. We got dropped off in the gorge at the beginning of the short weather window which only lasted two days. We could have used one more.
